    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006

    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Kurosawa's Ran: Reception and Interpretation ANN THOMPSON AKIRA KUROSAWA'S Ran (literally, war, riot, or chaos) was chosen as the first film to be shown at the First Tokyo International Film Festival in June 1985, and it opened commercially in Japan to record-breaking busi­ ness the next day. The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa­ nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).
  • Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt Von Katja Bruns Und James Zu Hüningen

    Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt Von Katja Bruns Und James Zu Hüningen

    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.4, 2011 // 623 Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt von Katja Bruns und James zu Hüningen Inhalt: Alphabetisches Verzeichnis der Filme Chronologisches Verzeichnis der Filme Literatur Als Beach Party Movies bezeichnet man ein kleines Genre von Filmen, das sich um die Produktionen der American International Pictures (AIP) versammelt. Zwar gab es eine Reihe von Vorläufern – zuallererst ist die Columbia-Produktion GIDGET aus dem Jahre 1959 zu nennen (nach einem Erfolgsroman von Frederick Kohner), in dem Sandra Dee als Surferin aufgetreten war –, doch beginnt die kurze Erfolgsgeschichte des Genres erst mit BEACH PARTY (1963), einer AIP-Produktion, die einen ebenso unerwarteten wie großen Kassenerfolg hatte. AIP hatte das Grundmuster der Gidget-Filme kopiert, die Geschichte um diverse Musiknummern angereichert, die oft auch als performances seinerzeit populärer Bands im Film selbst szenisch ausgeführt wurden, und die Darstellerinnen in zahlreichen Bikini-Szenen ausgestellt (exponierte männliche Körper traten erst in den Surfer-Szenen etwas später hinzu). Das AIP-Konzept spekulierte auf einen primär jugendlichen Kreis von Zuschauern, weshalb – anders, als noch in der GIDGET-Geschichte – die Rollen der Eltern und anderer Erziehungsberechtigter deutlich zurückgenommen wurden. Allerdings spielen die Auseinandersetzungen mit Eltern, vor allem das Erlernen eines selbstbestimmten Umgangs mit der eigenen Sexualität in allen Filmen eine zentrale dramatische Rolle. Dass die Jugendlichen meist in peer groups auftreten und dass es dabei zu Rang- oder Machtkämpfen kommt, tritt dagegen ganz zurück. Es handelte sich ausschließlich um minimal budgetierte Filme, die on location vor allem an den Stränden Kaliforniens (meist am Paradise Cove) aufgenommen wurden; später kamen auch Aufnahmen auf Hawaii und an anderen berühmten Surfer-Stränden zustande.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

    The Hidden Fortress Delivers Kurosawa's Trademark Deft Blend of Wry Humor, Breathtaking Action, and Compassionate

    The Hidden Fortress delivers Kurosawa’s trademark deft blend of wry humor, breathtaking action, and compassionate humanity. A grand­scale adventure as only Akira Kurosawa could make one, The Hidden Fortress stars the inimitable Toshiro Mifune as a general charged with guarding his defeated clan’s princess (a fierce Misa Uehara) as the two smuggle royal treasure across hostile territory. Accompanying them are a pair of bumbling, conniving peasants who may or may not be their friends. This rip­roaring ride is among the director’s most beloved films and was a primary influence on George Lucas’s Star Wars.

Abstract The 1960s was a period of change for the British cinema, as it was for so much else. The six feature films directed by John Schlesinger in that decade stand as an exemplar of what those changes were. They also demonstrate a fundamental change in the narrative form used by mainstream cinema. Through a close analysis of these films, A Kind of Loving, Billy Liar, Darling, Far From the Madding Crowd, Midnight Cowboy and Sunday Bloody Sunday, this thesis examines the changes as they took hold in mainstream cinema. In effect, the thesis establishes that the principal mode of narrative moved from one based on objective realism in the tradition of the documentary movement to one which took a subjective mode of narrative wherein the image on the screen, and the sounds attached, were not necessarily a record of the external world. The world of memory, the subjective world of the mind, became an integral part of the narrative.
